“龙吸水”即海上中强度龙卷风

　　Spectacular waterspout was seen along the Sydney coast on May 17. This is rare in Australia because waterspouts usually happen every year but they are too fare from the coast in the sea to be seen from the land. The waterspout lasted around five minutes and expired before landfall。

　　5月17日，澳大利亚悉尼近海处出现“龙吸水”(即海上中强度龙卷风)这一奇特景观。据了解，“龙吸水”景观在澳大利亚非常罕见，尽管“龙吸水”年年都会光顾，但由于距离海岸太远，生活在陆地上的人们难得看到其真面目。此次“龙吸水”持续时间大约为5分钟，随即在海面上消失。
